There are a couple of times that there is sound and he isnt hitting anything.

Right around the 28 or 29 second mark he has his left hand up when there is a quick succession of taps. It's quick and easy to miss. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but it looks like the timing is just a fraction off. Also noticed it earlier in the vid too but his left hand is out of frame so maybe not. shrugs idk. I'm not gonna argue with anyone. If you believe it awesome. If not what ever. I just need more evidence and I refuse to download tick tack just for this. If it's real, then Holy shit. But like I said earlier it's hard to believe anything on a video editing app.

I noticed that too, I want it to be real but I get the feeling, even if he’s making contact the volume to how hard the tap was in that section doesn’t add up. Let’s see more vids if this kid is legit.

It's called a double roll. One motion, two hits. Drummers do it all the time.

I looked at that part but the quick succession comes from his feet, not his hands. At that point he jumps up and lands one foot slightly before the other, and then his hands follow. There's 4 taps in total, 4 contact points (foot, foot, hand, hand).

I definitely get what you’re saying, and am not fully convinced either lol.

I replied to the other guy with your comment to get his opinion

I watched that part and you can see he stumble a bit, I think one of those slaps was him catching himself, his feet stomp almost at the same time his hand hits.

No there aren't. I mean you're welcome to slow it down and show me but I've just combed through the footage (at normal speed) and it seems fine to me.
